One of the Old Guard has begun to change his tune: Michael Moore is calling for a moratorium on blaming President Bush. Well, sort of. On last night’s Real Time, Moore told his co-panelists and host Bill Maher that blaming the Bush administration for America’s problems will not make them go away, nor, two years later, is it a valuable excuse.

Though Delaware’s Christine O’Donnell will, in all likelihood, be denied the title of senator tonight, Yahoo News reports that she’s already been won a different honorific: the designation of 2010′s Most Covered Candidate.

ormer New York mayor (and failed 2008 Presidential candidate) Rudy Giuliani appeared on on Hannity last night to discuss the political topics of the day with Sean Hannity, and delivered a strong and scathing critique of President Obama‘s management of the BP oil spill, saying it’s been handled more like a political problem and not an environmental crisis.

Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak‘s allegation that the White House offered him a job in exchange for his backing down from running against Democratic Senator Arlen Specter is the kind of story that seems to never die. Keeping the flames burning are last night’s Geraldo at Large panel, where host Kimberly Guilfoyle wondered about the White House’s “sinister” intentions and Ann Coulter offered as proof of improprieties the fact that the job was not given.

The Joe Sestak story is still kicking along this weekend, though it remains a backseat issue behind both President Obama‘s reaction to the BP oil spill and Congress’ vote on DADT. The most recent development in the case is that GOP would like the FBI to launch an investigation into the matter. During the This Week roundtable this morning George Will put the kibash on that idea.

Yesterday was a tough day to be Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, as political pundits were taking shots at him left and…left. The subject was Joe’s assertion that the media slept through the Joe Sestak controversy (an assertion with which I strongly disagree). First, DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas attacked Scarborough via Twitter, and on last night’s Countdown, MSNBC colleague Keith Olbermann launched a veiled, but very nasty, attack on him.

Say what you will about MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan– last seen wondering aloud about, um, why there are so many Jews on the Supreme Court– but he doesn’t think quite like anyone else on TV does. This morning, Buchanan was on the air to discuss the job Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak was offered by the White House, and the issue made Buchanan concerned about Sestak’s mental health, not that he didn’t “urge him to join the race every time I saw him on Morning Joe,” anyway.

Chris Matthews knows how to tip his hat to an adversary for a job well done. After making him one of Hardball’s chief villains, Matthews played a clip of Rush Limbaugh last night taking a stab at Bill Clinton for his involvement in the Joe Sestak White House job case, and chuckled to himself, “even he can get it right sometimes.

On the heels of the White House Counsel’s memo detailing the administration’s contact (via Bill Clinton) with Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), Sestak spoke out today, going into detail for the first time. Short version: There’s nothing to see here.

With the release of the White House Counsel’s memo on the Joe Sestak controversy, the race is on to keep this story’s heart pumping. Today, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier give the story a good going-over, but former Bush Attorney General Michael Mukasey comes along to spoil the fun.

At the end of yesterday’s presidential press conference, Fox News’ asked the final two-part question – and one part was about PA Rep. Joe Sestak and his run in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary against Sen. Arlen Specter. At the time, Pres. Obama said he was not ready to speak about it, but “there will be an official response shortly on the Sestak issue.” Today, the Washington Post and the New York Times are reporting that the White House involved Bill Clinton in the Sestak issue.

President Obama‘s handling of the BP Oil spill seems to simultaneously be providing the public with a quick review of 20th Century history. Initially, the BP Oil spill was Obama’s Katrina. More recently Obama’s response inspired some not-so-flattering WWII comparisons from David Gergen. Yesterday, Shepard Smith said the spill could end up being worse than 9/11. And today it’s apparently Obama’s Watergate.

On Morning Joe yesterday Mika Brzezinski worried that the White House – Joe Sestak job offer was proof the “backroom deal was alive and well” (and apparently fairly common), meanwhile Joe Scarborough thinks the problem is the media is “not following it…it is media malpractice.”

If White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod and Congressman Joe Sestak were expecting a hard time from the press about Sestak’s claim that the White House offered him a job to dissuade him from running against Sen. Arlen Specter, they may not have been expecting it on John King, USA. But host John King refused to let either of them off the hook without an answer, asking both to clarify the issue in the interest of public trust. What he got in return was five minutes of non-answers and awkward question evasion.

Did the White House offer Rep. Joe Sestak a job (rumored to be Navy secretary) in return for not running against Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary on Tuesday? No one will say for absolute sure. One imagines that if Rand Paul had not been afforded quite so much media time to clarify his views on the Civil Rights Act this storyline might have received more attention. As it is, it got secondary mention on all three network Sunday shows this morning.

The AP is reporting that Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak has won the Democratic Senate primary against incumbent Senator Arlen Specter, who recently defected from the Republican Party citing irreconcilable differences with party administrators. Moments later, CNN also projected Sestak the winner in a close race.

It’s Election Day in some of America but, sadly, not all of us are allowed to play. Feeling election fever but aren’t lucky enough to live in Pennsylvania, Oregon, Kentucky, or Arkansas? You don’t have to just watch Chris Matthews and John King have all the fun anymore– thanks to new media, you can now participate in local politics thousands of miles away not just by watching their wacky local commercials, but getting in on all the awesome free stuff, too!

Chris Matthews on MSNBC called it “(Almost) Super Tuesday.” Martha MacCallum on Fox News said it’s “Semi-Super Tuesday.”

Yes, the day is finally upon us. Elections in a few primary Senate races! Let’s break out the election night toys, it’s time to go full throttle on cable news!

During a Fox News debate on health care yesterday afternoon, satellite problems prevented Congressman Joe Sestak (D-PA) from taking advantage of his final word, proving to be a rather unfortunate coincidence for a network constantly battling claims of political bias. It’s funny, really, to imagine the cosmic interference at play here as Sestak’s views on health care literally cannot be heard. See the full clip inside!
